Far Reaches Gin

First review of 2018! Slight change of format for this year, no “Gin of the Month” – but will be multiple reviews through the year and still have the big vote at the end of the year for Gin of the Year.

So first up – Far Reaches Gin.

This little treasure arrived at Gin Lord HQ last month, couldn’t wait to get sipping.

With the idea to use a botanical from each continent of the globe; should lend itself to a very interesting Gin.

It certainly does this – after my time in Australia, I had a quandong distillate that was rather memorable so I got this fairly quickly – however I’m unfamiliar with some of the other botanicals such as Sarsaparilla.

Fleshy and fruity up front, with a dry and peppery finish – I really am encouraging you to give this a spin! Cocktail ideas were also provided – I had to try their take on The Breakfast Martini, but it is also fab in a G&T – and if you can find kumquat to garnish – you’re winning.
